Bantwal, Jun 21: In a shocking case from Kiltoda in Nadur village of Bantwal, where a man killed his pregnant wife and later died by suicide, the motive behind the crime may remain a mystery, as both individuals involved are now deceased.
The deceased have been identified as Timmapa Moulya and his wife Jayanthi. With no surviving eyewitnesses from within the household, police are faced with the challenge of piecing together the events that led to the murder. Speculations are rife, but establishing a definitive reason behind the killing remains difficult.
Although some preliminary theories suggest that a minor argument might have triggered the act, the true cause may never be known. Since the accused also took his own life, police have limited means to ascertain whether this was a premeditated act or a tragic outcome of a heated altercation.
The couple had reportedly been married for over 16 years and had long struggled with infertility. After years of medical consultations and prayers, the couple was finally expecting their first child. Just months away from welcoming their baby, the tragedy has left the community in deep shock.
Though initial reports suggest the wife may have been suffocated by pressing on her neck and head, authorities are awaiting the post-mortem report conducted at Deralakatte hospital to confirm the exact cause of death.
Questions have also arisen over whether the act was deliberate or if Jayanthi, who was in the later stages of pregnancy, succumbed during a physical altercation. Investigations are ongoing, and police have assured that all aspects will be thoroughly examined once the autopsy report is received.
